Man, how can hands that strong and leathery (no pick) be so sensitive, too?
The guy was so intense, and for my money, nobody's ever sang the Blues with more balls, joy, pain and all the rest. Long live the spirit of Freddie King!
I'm going to grab one or two of those licks, now! Peace...
This expresses exactly how you feel when you're in love: you see someone in his or hers full glory. And by seeing that you bring out that glory in someone. Thats why love is divine. And that's why it's often so hard to handle too ;-).
@rumpledilskin It's missing fans and people who support musicians who play this music. There are bluesman everywhere but they just don't have a following like these teenie bopping pop stars do. Support your local bluesmen!
he has one of the best blues vocals I ever heard..and of coarse his guitar playing is soul full and only he could do it that way..we all try to get that sound but just ain't gonna get it cuz that sound belongs to Freddie King ...
King of kings!
